The Hectors Mixtape
[THM011]
Macka (Hometown)

1) Tell us about yourself….. 
19 years old Edinburgh born and raised... 1/4 of the Hometown fleeto who have the delight of playing at Hector's four times a year.

2) How did you get into music and DJing?
I have always been a music head as it is how I was brought up. With my Dad's side heavily influencing me with the likes of Oasis/Kasabian/Stereophonics when I was very young and then my Mum's side of classic disco/disco house creeping in near the end of my high school days. Only recently I have taken a vast interest in my uncle's love for electronic music which branches off from when he was a DJ in Edinburgh in the 90's under the name of 'The Waxman'. I first started playing in small nights in Cafe Voltaire (to about 10 of my mates) where I wasn't showcasing to a large group of people and got pretty fed up of what I could do with the limited number of punters, so I started up Hometown with a few of my pals onboard and its been all fun and games ever since.

3) Who/what are your favourite DJs/producers/labels?
Tough question as it varies so much but at the moment I'm really into Krystal Klear, Big Miz, Harry Parsons and DJ Spen to name a few.

4) Tell us about your mix…..
The mix was recorded in my bedroom after a long day at graft. I eased myself into it to get myself in the mood and finished with my favourite tune from when I started going to Hector's and a go to if I'm ever playing a big party.

5) What are your future plans?
I've been learning how to produce music and focusing myself on it a lot more recently. I plan on getting some EP material made up and getting it out at some point but who knows how long that'll take. I have a great community out at Skapade  ** who have been giving me some guidance on how to go about this recently.

6) Anything else you want to mention…..
Me and the guys at Hometown are putting on an extra special birthday party down at Akva by the canal ('Canalside') [ where you will definitely see how familiar faces to Hectors. Definitely one to add to the calendar. [Info & tickets >> facebook.com/events/2121016744592151]
